STOCKHOLM (Reuters) - Mobile telecom gear maker Ericsson may lay off around 25,000 employees outside Sweden as part of its savings program, Swedish daily Svenska Dagbladet reported on Thursday, citing unidentified sources at the company.

Ericsson said in July it would accelerate measures to meet a target of doubling its 2016 underlying operating margin of 6 percent and that it aimed to reach an annual cost reduction run rate of at least 10 billion crowns ($1.2 billion) by mid-2018.
Ericsson has said actions will be taken primarily in service delivery and common costs while research and development would be largely unaffected.
The company faces mounting competition from China’s Huawei and Finland’s Nokia as well as weak emerging markets and falling spending by telecoms operators with demand for next-generation 5G technology still years away.
Svenska Dagbladet said it was not clear whether the planned layoffs included employees within its media operations, which are up for strategic review and seen by analysts as likely to be sold by the group.
“Ericsson has not communicated which specific units or countries could be affected. It is too early to talk about specific measures or exclude any country,” Ericsson said in a statement on its website.
Ericsson has around 109,000 employees.

新总裁也没救过来 爱立信全球再次裁员4100人
2017年10月21日 08:51 中关村在线
10月21日消息，爱立信公司在本周的时候发布了最新财报，财报中的数据显示，爱立信第三季度的净营收为478亿瑞典克朗（约合387.7亿人民币），与去年同期相比缩水了6%；净亏损为43亿瑞典克朗，上年同期的净亏损为20亿瑞典克朗。

今年年初的时候，Borje Ekholm刚刚接任爱立信首席执行官的职位。 他曾经明确表示希望能够带领爱立信公司走出困境，不过最终他显然低估了爱立信CEO职位的困难程度。在财报说明会上，Borje Ekholm认为目前市场上挑战很大，不过情况也不容乐观，形势依然很严峻。
除了公布财报之外，爱立信也公布了公司人员状况。今年第三季度爱立信在研发领域新增1100名员工，但全球的员工总数却减少了3000人。按照这一数据计算，爱立信第三季度已在全球裁员4100人左右。
Borje Ekholm在出任爱立信总裁兼首席执行官后，一直在试图让公司重新走上正轨。三月份的时候，他们在声明中提到由于一些大客户项目负面发展的影响，公司第一季度的利润将减少70亿瑞典克朗至90亿瑞典克朗。同时，爱立信也希望进一步提升他们的媒体业务，来减少亏损带来的压力。
在担任爱立信CEO之后，Borje Ekholm已经废除爱立信连续8年向股东派息的做法。同时，他还计划剔除爱立信高管层的一个层级，并把地区业务从原先的10个调整为5个。当然，Borje Ekholm还一再向外界暗示爱立信需要更多的现金流。
